To continue my Rational Developer for POWER series, the Rational Developer for POWER Systems Software is a modern,Eclipse-based, multilingual, integrated development environment targeting POWER Linux, AIX, and IBM i systems. This video provides a step by step demonstration on how to create a new C/C++ project based on existing source files residingremotely on an AIX or POWER Linux server machine.

A couple of weeks ago I kicked off a blog on Cognos's Analytic Applications - Adaptive Application Framework Version 8.4 product. Here is part 2, that discusses Creating a new dimension from a non-ERP data source.

Let's review what we discussed last time and then get into the next demo:

IBM Cognos Analytic Applications deliver ready-made or packaged analytics using acommon business model that assesses performance of specific functional domains,which include finance, customer, supply chain and workforce. The applications helpour customers gain insight into their performance faster and far more cost-effectivelythan if they were to build it themselves. In addition, with a common business model foranalysis, customers can extend the point of analysis through shared KPI’s that eitherdeepen or extend their assessment of performance, either departmentally orcross-departmentally.

The Congos Adaptive Application Framework (AAF), meanwhile, is the application’smanagement model backbone, and allows organizations to adapt, or modifyreporting and analysis through a configurable process completed via a single touchpoint. The approach uses a drag and drop GUI to automate and streamline themanagement and implementation of changes, as well as seamlessly synchronizethe generation of core components of the application’s pre-built sourcings,warehouse, semantic and reporting layer.
